Chapter 185

Damn it, who—

Damn it, who—

The leader of the immortals standing farther away was about to curse on the spot!

Translation: "The head of the celestial attendants standing farther away was about to curse on the spot!" Or "The leader of the distant celestial attendants was about to curse on the spot!" We'll keep natural: "The head of the celestial attendants standing farther away was about to curse on the spot!"

But Meng Zhang had already appeared before him, leaving him unable to curse.

Translation: "But Meng Zhang had already appeared before him, and he suddenly couldn't utter the curse."

""Azure, Azure Dragon God Emperor.""

Translation: ""Azure Dragon God Emperor.""

""Azure, Azure Dragon God Emperor.""

The leading immortals were a bit tongue-tied, mainly because they hadn't expected Meng Zhang to show up here!

Translation: "The head celestial attendant stammered a bit, mainly because they hadn't expected Meng Zhang to appear here!"

After he saw clearly who had just attacked and realized it was Jian Wují, the White Tiger God Emperor, he became even more numb.

Translation: "When he finally saw clearly who had just attacked—and it turned out to be Jian Wuji, the White Tiger God Emperor—he went numb!"

But what surprised him most was Shaoguan Wu's appearance, and he even told him, 'Lou Guanshu sent you, didn't she? Get lost! And tell her not to move, A Li, not even a bit!'

Translation: "But what surprised him most was Shaoguan Wu's appearance, and he even said, 'Lou Guanxue sent you, didn't she? Get lost! And tell her not to lay a finger on A Li!'"

Phew, I almost mistakenly called her 'Bilian'.

Translation: "Lucky me, I almost called her 'Bi Lian' by mistake."

The leading immortal was completely dumbfounded…

Translation: "The head celestial attendant was completely dazed……"

He couldn't possibly know the exact deal between Lou Guanshu and Shaoguan Wu.

Translation: "He couldn't possibly know the exact deal between Lou Guanxue and Shaoguan Wu."

But he and the vast majority of the heavenly court's scholars all clearly knew that Shen Qingli, the young emperor of the Vermilion Bird Divine Palace, had provoked Shaoguan Wu in front of everyone, causing this god emperor who had ascended to divinity millions of years ago to lose face terribly.

Translation: "But he, like most of the Shen Ting's All-Knowing Scholars, clearly knew that Shen Qingli, the Young Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Divine Palace, had provoked Shaoguan Wu in front of everyone, causing this God Emperor who became a deity tens of millions of years ago to lose face."

So what kind of situation is this now?

Translation: "So what's going on now?"

Has the Black Tortoise God Emperor's ninja divine skill already reached its peak?

Translation: "Has the Black Tortoise God Emperor's Ninja Divine Skill already reached its peak?"

'Get lost already!' was all Jian Wují said.

Translation: "\"Get lost! \" Jian Wuji snapped."

Among the Four Spirit God Emperors, his combat strength is actually the strongest, with Zhong Minglan coming in second.

Translation: "Among the Four Spirit God Emperors, his combat strength is actually the strongest, with Zhong Minglan coming in second."

But Zhong Minglan's fighting style is extremely fierce, and with the Golden Crow's assistance, she naturally became the most outstanding war god in the heavenly court

Translation: "But Zhong Minglan's fighting style is extremely fierce, and with Jin Wu's assistance, she naturally became the Shen Ting's First War God, the most distinguished in military merit among the Four Spirit God Emperors."

Even if we set aside the god-tier strength of the Four Palaces, just looking at the immortal troops and generals of each palace, the Vermilion Bird Army's exploits remain unmatched.

Translation: "However, even if we set aside the divine-level combat strength of the Four Palaces, judging only by the ordinary celestial soldiers and generals of each palace, the Vermilion Bird Army's achievements still stand far above the rest!"

Since Zhong Minglan always leads with a deity in battle and never abandons his troops, the Vermilion Bird Army has remained the Celestial Court's premier war force.

Translation: "After all, whenever Zhong Minglan fights, she always leads the charge, never retreating without her troops, so the Vermilion Bird Army has always been the Shen Ting's First War Army."

But now, the elite detachment of this fiercest war army is completely bewildered, frozen in place.

Translation: "But now, even the elite unit of this fiercest war army is standing dumbfounded in place."

"What are the three divine emperors up to?" the Golden Crow representative asked.

Translation: "\"What are the Three God Emperors up to? \" the Jin Wu representative asked."

They haven't even had a chance to guard their young emperor, and these three are already busy chasing after petty things like catching mice?

Translation: "Their Young Emperor hasn't even been protected yet, and these three are coming to catch mice like dogs?"

Xiao Yuying is even closer to Shen Qingli; could it be that these three, seeing the Empress absent, want to bully the young emperor, fearing gossip, and first drive away unrelated people? Absolutely! They're all despicable scoundrels.

Translation: "Xiao Yu Ying stood even closer to Shen Qingli—could it be that they saw the Empress wasn't present, wanted to bully the Young Emperor, feared gossip, and first drove off the unrelated people? Surely! They're just despicable scoundrels."

"Don't worry," Shaoguan Wu said, trying to sound as gentle as possible.

Translation: "\"Don't be nervous, \" Shaoguan Wu said, trying to sound as gentle as possible."

Xiao Yuying simply drew her long spear— that old turtle bastard is the worst!

Translation: "Xiao Yu Ying, however, simply drew her spear—this old turtle bastard is the worst!"

"Little sister, is he the old turtle who previously attacked you?" Shen Qingtong asked bluntly.

Translation: "\"Little sister, is this the old turtle who previously attacked you? \" Shen Qing Tong asked bluntly."

Shaoguan Wu, the old turtle, his face twitched slightly; the voice was too loud for him to pretend he hadn't heard.

Translation: "Old Turtle Shaoguan Wu's face twitched slightly—the voice was too loud for him to pretend he hadn't heard."

"It's him!" cried the young Jiu Li, pointing him out.

Translation: "\"It's him! \" Jiu Li Hai Chi Jiao pointed out."

Shen Qingtong stared coldly, his azure eyes fixed on Shaoguan Wu like a dead man.

Translation: "Shen Qing Tong stared coldly, his green eyes fixed on Shaoguan Wu like a corpse."

Although he knows full well that with his present strength he could never kill Shaoguan Wu.

Translation: "Although he knew full well that with his current strength he could never kill Shaoguan Wu,"

But that doesn't mean he can't 'take him out'! With the Golden Upper General present, he just needs to create an opening for the Golden Upper General, and Shaoguan Wu will die!

Translation: "but that doesn't mean he can't 'take him out'! With the Gold General present, he only needs to create an opportunity for the Gold General, and Shaoguan Wu will die!"

Anyone who bullies my little sister must die!

Translation: "Anyone who bullies my little sister must die!"

That's the agreement among the Shen brothers.

Translation: "That's the consensus among the Shen brothers."

Even if he's an accomplice, he'd rather be dead than alive!

Translation: "Even being an accomplice deserves a fate worse than death!"

This old turtle before us is clearly not just an accomplice—

Translation: "This old turtle before us is clearly not just an accomplice—he,"

"What, a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!" Shaoguan Wu forced a smile, "Last time it was a misunderstanding; I was manipulated by Lou Guanxue—I'm truly sorry."

Translation: "\"What, what! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! \" Shaoguan Wu forced a smile, \"Last time it was a misunderstanding; I was manipulated by Lou Guanxue—I'm truly sorry. \"

Shen Qingtong: '?'

Translation: "Shen Qing Tong: \"? \""

This slippery kneeling, quicker than his killing intent—what's going on?

Translation: "How is it that his groveling comes faster than his killing intent?"

He was ready to self-destruct—what does this old turtle want?

Translation: "He was all set to self-destruct—what is this old turtle up to?"

It's clear that Shen Qingmo's tendency to readily undergo rebirth has already corrupted his younger brothers.

Translation: "It's obvious that Shen Qing Mo's habit of constantly seeking rebirth has already corrupted his younger brothers."

Even Jiu Li doesn't understand at this moment, let alone Shen Qingtong: 'What are you doing? Trying to trick us into lowering our guard, then lashing out to kill us?'

Translation: "At this moment, not even Shen Qing Tong—indeed, the Jiu Li clan doesn't understand either: 'What are you doing? Trying to trick us into lowering our guard so you can lash out and kill us?'"

"No!" Shaoguan Wu hastily denied, "Absolutely not!"

Translation: "\"No! \" Shaoguan Wu hurriedly denied, \"Absolutely not! \"

He kept looking hopefully at Shen Qingli: 'Ah Li, last time it really was a misunderstanding—we— we—'

Translation: "He kept looking pleadingly at Shen Qingli, \"A Li, last time really was a misunderstanding, we—we—"

We only just learned that Su Nü did beastly things to you and your mother; Zhong Minglan killing Su Nü is understandable, and you killing Bi Lian is likewise. Menzhang immediately added.

Translation: "\"We only just learned that Su Nv did something beastly to you and your mother; Zhong Minglan killing Su Nv is understandable, and you killing Bi Lian is likewise justified. \" Meng Zhang immediately chimed in.

"Exactly, exactly, exactly!" Jian Wují agreed.

Translation: "\"Exactly! \" Jian Wuji agreed."

The Golden Crow furrowed his brows, 'Are you treating us like fools?'

Translation: "Jin Wu frowned, \"You think we're idiots? \""

With such a huge grudge and resentment, you just say it's gone?

Translation: "With such a huge grudge, such deep resentment, can it just be erased by saying 'it's nothing'?"

Shen Qingli doesn't believe it either, so she stays silent; she's not alone right now— she also— wait!

Translation: "Shen Qingli didn't believe it either, so she stayed silent—she isn't alone right now; she still—wait!"

Suddenly enlightened, Shen Qingli recalled the Azure Dragon and White Tiger divine powers she had devoured, which even contained traces of divine source.

Translation: "In an instant of enlightenment, Shen Qingli recalled the Azure Dragon and White Tiger divine power she had devoured, which even contained a trace of divine source."

Furthermore, recalling what her mother told her—that Qin Su Nü shuttled between the three divine emperors, manipulating them like a sea queen—her thoughts suddenly became clearer.

Translation: "Adding to that, recalling what her mother told her—that Qin Su Nv alone had shuffled between the Three God Emperors, playing them like puppets—her thoughts suddenly became much clearer."

Could it be that each of these three thinks he is the father of Qin Bi Lian?

Translation: "Could it be that they each think they're the father of Qin Bi Lian?"

If so, given her current appearance, do they all think she is their biological daughter?

Translation: "If so, do they now think she's their biological father?"

「……」

Translation: "\"……\""

Shen Qingli fell silent.

Translation: "Shen Qingli fell silent."

How to put it? She suddenly felt a little tainted.

Translation: "How to put it? She suddenly felt a little tainted."

But since they've come to her doorstep, a little dirt is fine.

Translation: "But since they've come knocking, a little dirt is fine."

After all, this is also something she earned through her own ability; if she hadn't been reborn and changed everything, all these 'fruits' would have already fallen into Su Chacha's hands.

Translation: "After all, this counts as something she earned by her own ability—if she hadn't been reborn and changed everything, all these 'fruits' would already have fallen into Su Chacha's lap."

Her mother, the Empress, would mistakenly think that Su Chacha, this Bi Lian, is her biological daughter.

Translation: "Her Empress mother would mistake Su Chacha, this Bi Lian, for her true daughter."

Her mother loves her so dearly that, before confirming Su Chacha has any issues, she would certainly still give Su Chacha everything she could.

Translation: "Since her mother dotes on her, before confirming any issue with Su Chacha, she would certainly still give Su Chacha everything she possibly could."

In her previous life, Su Chacha was just using her divine bones this way to obtain everything she wanted.

Translation: "In her past life, Su Chacha was just using her divine bones this way to get everything she wanted."

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli's heart ached, and she also hated! For her, and even more for the mother who gave birth to her at the risk of her life.

A dove taking over a magpie's nest—nothing more.

But the dove is merely a beast lacking spiritual sense!

Where are Qin Su Nu and her daughter?

They are revered gods and goddesses, yet they only commit beastly acts!

"A Li."

Meng Zhang gazed at Shen Qingli, thinking, Su Nv ought to have already explained things to her daughter.

But it's also possible she didn't; if the child is young and can't keep a secret, it could ruin the plan.

But now Su Nv is dead; if she never told her, can this child still acknowledge him as father?

Fortunately…

He saw Shen Qingli's gaze toward him, faintly shimmering with tears!

He knew his guess was right! Su Nv had told the child, but the child truly couldn't keep it secret—this look is about to give it away!

He hurriedly added, "No matter what, matters among the Four Spirit Divine Emperors are for us to settle; outsiders have no right to interfere!"

"Not bad!" Jian Wují also saw the tear glint in Shen Qingli's eyes, his thought similar to Meng Zhang's: "Child, you are now my—"

Um, that... you are the only junior in our Four Spirit Divine Palace; no matter how we fight behind closed doors, we never let outsiders see us embarrassed—don't believe me? Ask your empress mother.

"Exactly, exactly! I was earlier tangled up with that Lou Guanxue, but afterwards I stopped playing with her; the affairs of the Four Spirit Divine Emperors are ours to settle behind closed doors—what does it have to do with Kunlun?" Shaoguan Wu said in succession.

Shen Qingli then looked at Jin Wu and said, "Uncle Jin, is that right?"

In private, they had corrected Shen Qingli to call him 'uncle' instead of 'elder'; upon hearing this, Jin Wu merely nodded.

He also sent a mental message to Shen Qingli: "Usually it's like this, because when the Four Spirit Divine Emperors join forces, their combat strength exceeds that of solo fights, so they occasionally cooperate, and they still have some camaraderie."

But this camaraderie was completely wiped out after Qin Su Nu did those things to His Highness and His Majesty; only hatred remains, no camaraderie! They surely know this in their hearts, yet now they act this way—there must be a problem.

Naturally, there is a problem.

Shen Qingli understood perfectly.

However, to be safe, she needed to test whether they had truly mistaken.

So, she asked a question.

And this question…

This also made Meng Zhang, Xuanwu, and Jian Wují absolutely certain of their respective guesses!
